The shapefile is exported using Avenue request ExportClean. This request verifies and enforces the correctness of shapes. Completeness_Report: After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The geospatial part of this data set was extracted from the 1990 Census Version TIGER/Line™ files (CD–ROM edition). To improve the accuracy, GDT ran a process against the entire nationwide database. The positional accuracy of this data set exceeds the positional accuracy of the TIGER/Line coordinates. The positional accuracy of the TIGER/Line coordinates varies with the source materials used but at best meets the established National Map Accuracy standards (+/- 167 feet approximately) where 1:100,000-scale maps from the USGS are the source. The Census Bureau cannot specify the accuracy of feature updates added by its field staff or of features derived from the GBF/DIME-Files or other map sources. Thus, the level of positional accuracy in the TIGER/Line files is not suitable for high-precision measurement applications such as engineering problems, property transfers, or other uses that might require highly accurate measurements of the earth's surface.

Technicians then begin a state-by-state editing process that includes (but is not limited to): Eliminating errant segments–Occasionally, we have discovered cases where the highway, as digitized, deviates considerably from the actual course. In these cases, GDT technicians digitize the correct segments and delete the erroneous ones. Feature reclassification–Another drawback to TIGER-derived files was their feature classification codes (FCCs). These codes were an attempt to classify streets and roads based on maintenance, a procedure that varied dramatically in different geographic areas. To correct this problem and create a consistent nationwide highway system, GDT reclassified almost every street and road in the nation based on its use. Highways names are applied according to a layered hierarchy. Where a highway segment has more than one name, the higher-level name will always be used, and always in this order: Interstates, then U.S. Highways, State Highways and Local Names. The data GDT uses to define highways and ensure completeness is culled from the following sources: · Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways. Published by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. Lists all interstates. · U.S. Numbered Highways. Published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officers. Lists all state and U.S. highways. · State highway maps. Highway maps from state travel and tourism agencies and/or state departments of transportation.

Merged all states into one data set. Ran ArcView Avenue request ReturnConnected, and generalized. Divided into individual states. Converted all states to North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Recalculated any attributes based on length. Merged all states into one data set. Created ArcGIS™ layer file (.lyr). Created ArcView legend file (.avl). Created projection file (.prj). Ran ArcView Avenue request ExportClean, and created spatial indices.
